Neurosurgeons Discuss Baptist's New Spine Surgical Robot on WLBT

Patients with debilitating back and leg pain caused by spine deformities and degenerative conditions, such as scoliosis and slipped vertebrae with pinched nerves can be treated with the Mazor X™. The system is used for placing spinal implants in spinal fusions. A CT scan of the patient’s spine is uploaded to the robot’s guidance system to help surgeons determine a spinal alignment plan before surgery. The system also provides real time 3D verification during the surgery.
